Om Gan Ganapathaya :
With this mantra, we invoke Lord Ganesha, welcoming Him into our hearts. Enter most houses in India, and you are sure to find art works of Ganesha—a stone sculpture greets you at the entrance; there could be an occasional painting in the corridor and of course, figurines in brass or marble stand in their resplendent glory on mantelpieces. The God of Beginnings, He is also invoked as a Patron of Letters during writing sessions. Stories about His birth have been narrated through the ages; His lineage is fascinating…the second son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, He is said to have been created by Parvati from the dirt of Her body. As a remover of obstacles, Ganesha is the god we turn to when in trouble or when we are starting something new.
Most conflicts arise because we tend to complicate life instead of simplifying it. Our expectations of others are so high that it becomes impossible for them to meet those expectations. We want to only receive all the time; our greed knows no limits. However, a greedy life is an imbalanced life. The seema rekha or limit cannot be mathematically defined. Your heart has to tell you when to stop. Simplify life to enrich it. Shed the extra baggage that is weighing you down, preventing you from making the most of the present moment.
Om Namah Shivay
